Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Use-after-free (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-53010)

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to use-after-free in smb2_open during durable reconnect handling when processing a durable reconnect request. A remote user can trigger an error condition during durable reconnect to cause a denial of service.

The issue can occur if a subsequent error happens after the durable file descriptor reference is dropped early, or if a scavenger accesses the file before smb2_open returns.
